Well I thought u posted two pics of a Miata before I remember it was a two point question. And then I thought that s2000 needed Miata wheels...

Would I drive one, that depends, can I fit in one...

Rear end still looks too... boring and cheap. Needs dual exhaust, or at least mold the exhuast into the bumper. That shitty little pipe looks :ghey:

You can get paddle shifters. If you get the 6 speed, its like those European trannys, reverse is in the place of first.

The MY 04/05 wheels are definitely the biggest upgrade the S2K has gotten (cosmetic wise).

The new Miata is nice and the top is well integrated when down, but I still take the S2k in a heartbeat.

Mini hi-jack here, but those pictures look like they were taken in Memphis. Are you in Memphis?

I like the new Miata personally, would I buy one? Probably not, but I would drive one.

I hope they come out with a Mazdaspeed Miata with a turbo four with 260+HP. Then I would consider buying one.

I don't know what it is.. they essentially look like the same car with a quick glimpse... but why does the s2k look more aggressive?

Hmmm, OK. After looking closer at that picture, it appears to have been taken across the street from the Mercury dealer that works on my Mountaineer and next to the Honda dealer that works on my S2k.

S2K's headlights look aggressive as hell, and has sharper lines around the body...Miata I guess, is what we call "smoothed out."
Comparisons from quick glance I guess.

S2K > Miata anyway.

I would never own one cause its a girl's sports car my marketing teacher in grade 11 even said so she also said that all of the miata owners at the school were all female teachers.

Miatas are tooooo gay. Sorry I know its ignorant to say that but the gay community has made it so if the thing looked like a diablo I wouldn't drive it...well a diablo...might have to.

No, it's impossible for two open-top two seater sports cars to look similar!

The S2000 has a more aggressive look because it's wedge-shaped, looks higher in the back and tapers down the hood. The new Miata looks even on both ends.

I'd never consider one anyway, since I can't fit in one. I had to drive one when I was a designated driver at a party - like driving a clown car for me, knees around the steering wheel. Can't fit in a RX-8, either.

Fraternity party. We worked in teams. One would drive the intoxicated person home in their car, while another DD would follow and take you back.
